After spending a great deal of time on her own, Michonne has finally found a place to call home, filled with people she considers family. When that place was threatened by the Saviors, Michonne reluctantly accepted Rick's cooperative approach. However, as Negan's terror continued to threaten the lives of those she cared about, she helped convince Rick to be proactive – which is why every person they have lost because of this struggle weighs on her. She already feels responsible for future deaths that will inevitably come as a result of her push for war.
